📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat air fryer to 390 degrees for ⏱️ 5 minutes.
2
Trim any excess fat from the chicken breast. Slice into 1-inch thick strips, then each slice into small 1-inch square chunks.
3
Remove and discard the seeds and ribs from the peppers, then cut into 1-inch square pieces, approximately the same size as the chicken.
4
Add all the ingredients (except the brown sugar) to a mixing bowl; toss to coat.
brown sugar1 tablespoon
5
Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and dump the mixture into the basket, arranging in a single layer as much as you can (a little overlap is fine, but if your air fryer is very small, you might need to cook in 2 batches.)
6
Cook for ⏱️ 6 minutes, shake, then cook for another ⏱️ 5 minutes. The chicken should be tender and slightly charred with an internal temperature of 165F.
7
Sprinkle with the brown sugar while still hot and toss to dissolve.
brown sugar1 tablespoon
8
Serve on top of cooked white rice, if desired. Or make the avocado-lime sauce by combining all the ingredients in a blender; blend until smooth and incorporated. Drizzle over the chicken and peppers.
